Welcome to the 25th edition of the Youth Parliament!
The aim of this event is for young people to learn about diplomacy and international relations, to develop practical international communication skills targeting the topics of sustainability, green skills, and technology, and to promote greater global awareness of contemporary issues in travel and tourism.
This 3-day intensive programme will see a role-play of the simulated European Parliament (MEPs) and numerous debates.
Every country will be able to bring 2 students, of which there can only be 1 per school. We can expect to have at most 30 students participating in this event.
During the 25th edition of the Youth Parliament, the participants will be having the following debates:
• Sustainable development of rural tourism -How can a balance between tourism development and conservation of natural resources be achieved?
• Technology in rural tourism - Is digitalisation key to promoting and improving rural tourism?
• Rural tourism as a response to mass tourism - Can rural tourism be an alternative to mass tourism and its negative effects?
The event will be taking place in Bjelovar in Croatia and the students will be making trips to a few places in the vicinity of Bjelovar.
